Special thanks to Capcom for the review code.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. In the game, the player takes on the role of a character called the "Arisen", a hero marked by a dragon whom they must defeat. The player explores the world they live in, taking on quests, and fighting monsters, while being caught up in a geopolitical conflict between two kingdoms. To assist in this, the Arisen relies on allies called "Pawns", non-playable characters who join the player's party. These characters are AI-controlled, but function like player-controlled avatars, able to assist in fights, provide information on enemies, and guide currently active quests. Players can each create and customize their avatar and their own Pawn character with different genders, appearances, and races. In addition, players can recruit two additional Pawns created by other players.

Both the Arisen and Pawns each operate under a "vocation" – a class that defines what abilities and equipment they can use in combat, with different strengths and weaknesses. Vocations are split between basic, advanced and hybrid, the latter only accessible to the Arisen; furthermore, only the Arisen and their Pawn can change vocations. The game features several different vocations to choose from; several from Dragon's Dogma make a return in the sequel, while Strider and Ranger have been changed to Thief and Archer respectively. New hybrid vocations are included in the game, including Mystic Spearhand, a variation of Mystic Knight from the previous title, with characters able to utilize a bladed quarterstaff-like weapon called a duospear, and the Trickster, who uses spells that can confuse enemies and enhance Pawns in battle.Working with vocations improves them, unlocking additional abilities that can be acquired for use in combat.
